Morgan Jerkins I say without irony or hyperbole that movie changed my little life in its way. I learned that self-destruction looks like giving up from Artax. And that your friends—the weirder the better—can help keep you safe from the Nothing (depression, sadness) but can't stop it.

Made verification meaningless. Eliminated Translate Tweet. Now this. Yeah he's an idiot but he's also a right winger who's buddy buddy w/a bunch of right wingers. He's methodically gutting the app that criticizes & mobilizes against the right more than any other app on the planet

Jack Dorsey who helped recruit and make sure Musk takes Twitter, mocking Twitter users to touch grass rather than protest the destruction of what had been a public square. Billionaires gonna billionaire.
